Black Soul Invasion

Chapter 4 Believe in the Flame

Casillas quarreled with Gu Yi a few more times, so loud that the entire Kama Taj could be heard.

But all of this had nothing to do with Ashes, he stayed obediently in the library to read, and only went for a walk in the courtyard after meals.

This is Fatty Wang's request. He stubbornly believes that "walking a hundred steps after a meal can live 99 years." Although this is a rather vicious curse for Ashes, whose lifespan is almost unlimited, he still accepts the other party's suggestion.

Because Ashes admired Fatty Wang very much.

He is obviously a mortal and has no talent, but when other mages are blindly pursuing the "Day", Fatty Wang lives every day actively and seriously, without loss, without jealousy, only with consistent optimism.

It reminded Ashes of Jack Baldo, the Onion Knight from Catalina.

Ashes looked at Fatty Wang at the side, and asked, "Wang, do you like fire?"

"Strange question." Fatty Wang scratched his head: "But if you have to choose between likes and dislikes, you should still like it. After all, I am a chef."

Ashes laughed, those who like flames are good friends.

"You are a good person."

"Why did you send me a good person card all of a sudden, first say yes, if you borrow money, no!"

money?Currency of this world?

Ashes was about to inquire in detail, but there was a fierce quarrel in the distance.

It was Iker Casillas and the ancient one.

Of course, it was just Casillas' unilateral quarrel, and Gu Yi remained calm as always.

"Why? Why would you rather let an outsider watch the precious law code than teach it to your disciple?" Casillas yelled, "Teacher, what are you hiding?"

"I have nothing to hide, Mr. Casillas." Gu Yi said lightly: "The reason why you are not allowed to study the Book of Cagliosterlo is because your mind cannot resist the temptation in it. I don't want my The disciple fell into darkness."

"I'm not smart enough, so is he enough?" Casillas pointed to the ashes and said, "How old is he? 16 or 17? Can he resist the darkness in the book? I don't think so, because he There is no magic power fluctuation on his body! His face is useless except for soft food, and it is completely lacking in the practicality and simplicity that a mage should have! Teacher, you are too partial!"

"Mr. Casillas, please be careful. Politeness is a virtue." Gu Yi was afraid that Ashes would kill Casillas in a fit of anger, so he quickly interrupted him, and patiently explained: "I am not partial. You It should be known that the purpose of Kama Taj is to share knowledge."

"Then why only share it with him, but not me?"

"As I said, your mind is still unable to resist the darkness within."

"It's a cliche!" Casillas snorted, waved his fingers and said to everyone: "Okay, even if I can't do it, can't all the mages in Kama Taj not be able to do it? Don't tell me that we people are working hard day after day. , even worse than a bratty boy!"

Nonsense, he is an extraterritorial celestial demon, an existence that even I have to be cautious about, you crooked melons and dates are certainly no match!

But these words cannot be said, because this is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the mages.

The end point you have worked so hard to reach in your life is not even comparable to the starting point of others. The reality is so cruel, and this is also the inherent limit of human beings. Because of this, the idea of ​​​​changing life forms was born in the ancient one.

The brief silence was regarded as lack of words, and Casillas pleaded again: "Teacher, please teach me the real magic, I need strength!"

But Gu Yi still rejected him.

Casillas walked out of the room. Before he left, he glanced at Gu Yi with a scary look in his eyes.

"Casillas is also a poor man. His wife and daughter were brutally killed by villains, so he always wanted to take revenge. But this matter cannot be blamed on the Supreme Master, who will not let him watch Cagliostro There must be a reason for the book." Fatty Wang explained his point of view to Ashes.

In fact, this is also the view of most of the Kama Taj mages.

most.

Ashes was noncommittal, and said, "She just wants to protect you."

"Protect us?" Fatty Wang raised his head and asked, "Do we have any enemies?"

Fools, your enemy is of course the magical power you are proud of.

After a few days of study, Ashes also gradually understood Kama Taj's spell system.

To put it simply, it is a loan.

The magic power used by mages is not produced by themselves, but "borrowed" from the hands of demon gods in other dimensions.Since it is borrowed, it must be repaid.

Low-level spells don't consume much mana, and you only need to praise the corresponding demon god in your heart, which is usually considered a "spell", for example, "Emperor Weishan gave me strength", "Sissos has boundless magic power" and so on.

But advanced spells are different. Once you borrow too much magic power, you can't write it off with a few nice words.As I said before, the magical power of the universe is now withered, and the demon gods have no food left in their families, and they don’t run charitable halls, so why should they give silently without asking for anything in return?

Strictly speaking, the demon gods don't have a single good thing.Because they are not human, they have a moral view that is completely different from that of humans.They tend to forcefully manipulate the bodies of mages, pollute their minds, and make them do terrible behaviors that completely violate the bottom line of human society. Some of these behaviors can enhance the power of demon gods, and some can spread the reputation of demon gods, but most ...just for fun.

It was precisely because of this terrible consequence that Gu Yi firmly controlled the final red line, and only taught mages some low-level spells that would not consume too much magic power.

She never cherished herself, she just wanted to protect everyone.

Ashes said to Fatty Wang, "Go back first."

"What about you?"

"I have something to talk to the Supreme Master."

"Don't be too late, don't delay the rest of the Supreme Mage."

"Oh, I see."

Fatty Wang left, Ashes walked into Gu Yi's study.

"Mr. Ashes, welcome." Gu Yi asked, "Do you want some tea?"

"No." Ashes sat cross-legged in front of Gu Yi: "I just had noodle soup."

Gu Yi: "..."

Rao is Gu Yi who is good at nourishing Qi, so he didn't know how to continue it for a while.

Fortunately, Ashes spoke first.

"The king cares about you very much." He said: "Worship, love, and respect, all the beautiful emotions are vividly displayed on him."

Gu nodded: "I am not as great as he imagined, but you are right, Wang is a good man."

"So?" Ashes asked: "Don't you want to repay his love? Do you want to watch Wang Yonglu live his life and die of old age without accomplishing anything?"

Gu Yi frowned: "Wang's talent is not very good, it is already his limit at this stage. And you also understand what the so-called magic power is. Maybe my decision made Wang never realize his dream. But at least he can live his life in peace.”

Ashes asked: "Gu Yi, are you a god?"

Gu Yi shook his head.

"Then why did you decide the king's fate?"

"Otherwise?" Gu Yi's voice became severe: "Let him be manipulated by an extraterrestrial demon and become a mindless walking dead?"

"No, I mean, you should give him a choice."

"What choice?"

“Better choice!”

Ashes said: "Gu Yi, believe in Flame, you and all the mages of Kama Taj! Flame will give you everything!"
